Awesome pull Finny.
Small suggestions:
-get shins as perpendicular(a bit more than u did) to the ground as you can...so that your knees are not over the bar...they should be as parallel to the bar as possible
-getting shins perpendicular to the ground should get you to be on your heels
-tried to get hips a bit more down
-dont jerk upper body up initially as you can get a really bad lower back injury like that
-without raising hips initially try to push out with your feet and push feet through the ground to help break the weight off the ground
-fill your belly with as much air as you can and push out...similar to squats....if you're wearing a belt this should be quite pronounced...this should help quite a bit breaking the bar off the ground...
-try to stay centered...dont favor right side when breaking weight off the ground...because again that can result in a serious injury.
-get chest out as much as possible...to help maintain proper spinal curvature...i couldnt see in the vid that very well but it's something to keep in mind....one of the best things to prevent back injuries...

2 85lb York DBs....you can cut them up and use them as blob blockweights. They have awesome resale value. You can already resell them for more after cutting them up on gripboard or otherwise. They are rusted but for blockweights it doesnt matter.
there's also 70s available also. just search york dumbell. # part is worth more than york part of the dumbell. 1-1.25 per lb shipped for york, 1.5-2 per lb for #.
seems like your bar is rated for more than 600...i didnt even really see it bend. My gym bars used to bend to shit with about same weight....I would say that bar is good for at least 800-1000lb....(although i am sure they'll bend pretty good)...
